I enjoyed the judge’s report. Very well written, thorough and packed full of useful information for readers and poets! And I like her use of “unheimlich”; I ended up reading this great article about the uncanny – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny

I found the judge’s report very interesting – thanks for the post. Having said that I’m hoping the rhyme referred to in ‘Garden of Remembrance’ is not accidental because, in my opinion it doesn’t detract at all from the poem. For me, it helped to give the poem a forward rhythm which made the images even stronger.
